In a progressive step toward safer, more efficient roads, changes to the Road Traffic Act Regulations have extended the Civil Enforcement of Road Traffic Contraventions to local authorities across England and Wales. This legislation empowers councils to enforce moving traffic offences—giving them greater control to manage congestion and improve road safety within their communities.
Bus lane enforcement has become a key focus for many authorities aiming to prioritise public transport and reduce traffic delays. TagMaster’s Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras offer a precise and reliable solution, capturing the plates of all vehicles using bus lanes in real time. The system compares each plate against a list of authorised vehicles, enabling quick and efficient identification of violations.
As cities look to reduce emissions and promote more sustainable travel, dedicated bus lanes are playing a vital role. TagMaster has delivered ANPR solutions for hundreds of bus lane enforcement systems nationwide, supporting initiatives that:
- Increase journey time reliability for public transport
- Encourage better driving behaviour
- Promote sustainable transport choices such as cycling
- Help lower urban emissions
- Contribute to road safety and saving lives
TagMaster’s ANPR technology generates accurate evidence for Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs), including clear images, timestamps, and location data—ensuring robust, enforceable records for local authorities.
